is there a bulkDelete equivalent of JDA?

Question

In discord.js, there is a way to delete multiple messages in a channel (eventually making a clear command)

But I can't find the equivalent to Java Discord API. What I've tried is message.getChannel().getLatestMessageId() in a for statement, but it gave me exceptions when doing so, and did not delete any message ofc.

channel.getIterableHistory()
  .takeAsync(amount)
  .thenAccept(channel::purgeMessages);

getIterableHistory Gives access to retrieving any number of messages
purgeMessages does bulk delete (if possible)

Bulk delete is limited to up to 100 messages each and can only delete messages sent within the past 2 weeks. purgeMessages will split it into chunks of 100 and delete individual messages when they are too old. This can take a while since message delete is a very strictly limited endpoint.
